UPDATE: 24 Hours Later! Delicious! Family says ‘not quite Claussen but close!” In other words, they are a hit!
Taking a short break from pottery today to make pickles. I do not like canning in the late summer because, well, it’s just too hot! So I have been searching for “easy” refrigerator pickle recipes and I am giving this one a try from Beyer Beware.

I tweaked the recipe just a tad.
- I used kosher salt but half of what the recipe called for only because I have read in other recipes to use kosher not iodized salt.
- Omitted sugar.
- I used apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar.
- I didn’t have any peppercorns but used equal amounts of ground pepper for the amount of peppercorns called for in the recipe.
Now, I wait! No heating up and steaming up the house!
Ooooo! No sugar! Sounds great!
Sugar is in everything. Don’t need it in my dill pickles too 😉
